So I recently started casting with two handed rods and can cast 50-60' consistently. However, I notice that my running line always gets twisted up very badly in no time. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

are you using mono or a core type line?

If your line becomes twisted, the easiest way to deal with it is to remove your fly, strip your line off the reel and let it hang in the current for a minute. If lake fishing from a boat or float tube strip the line out and then motor or kick away, allowing your line to trail behind for a minute or two. It will untwist like magic. Reel it back up and your good to go.

Thanks! Love the first sentence of the second article! ;D
The running lines I have been using are slickshooter and airflo ridged.
